St. Louis -- Danny Amendola had a rough start Sunday, coughing up the ball after a 13-yard catch on the Rams' first snap, a fumble that the Redskins' Josh Wilson returned 30 yards for a defensive touchdown.

The St. Louis receiver recovered nicely, and quickly.

By halftime, Amendola had 12 receptions for 133 yards, matching the NFL's first-half receptions record set by the Colts' Reggie Wayne in 2007. The 12th catch was for Amendola's first touchdown of the season, a 1-yarder that cut the Rams' deficit to 21-13.

He would go on to set career bests with 15 catches (previous best was 12) and 160 yards (95) in the Rams' 31-28 come-from-behind win.

Amendola has a league-high 20 catches for 230 yards this season, picking up where he left off - as Sam Bradford's go-to receiver - before missing virtually all of last season after dislocating his left elbow in the opener.

"Obviously it's nice to have him back out there on the field," Bradford said. "He's a tremendous player. We knew going into this game that we were going to try to get him the ball."
